Community plugin for DeepSeek Harness. Not an official DeepSeek AI product.

Host-only. Writes a handoff for the calling session, requests the official Desktop restart, then agents.resumes that persisted identity if it is not live yet and followups it. GUI does not have to open the tab first.

Install

dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:NecromanAlbert/dsh-self-restart

Restart Desktop after install. Any session on that profile then sees dsh_restart_session.

Agent tool

{
  "mission": "Reload plugin copies, then verify the notes pad still opens.",
  "reason": "reload-client"
}

Argument
mission	Required. Self-contained. The next turn after boot only sees this text.
reason	Optional. Stored on the handoff file.
sessionId	Optional. Defaults to currentInitiator. Do not point this at another session unless you mean to.

After boot the plugin:

1. Reads $DSH_HOME/self-restart/handoff.json (max age 30 minutes).
2. Calls agents.resume({ resumeSessionId }) if that session is not live.
3. followups a plugin notice with the mission.
4. Clears the file so a later boot does not replay it.

One handoff file at a time. A second call before restart overwrites the first.

What this is not

• Not a dsh web process killer / scheduled-task relaunch.
• Not a sidebar / tray restart button.
• Not “ask the human to restart, then wait for them to reopen the tab”.
• Not a housekeeper identity fiber.
• Not shengyvself/dsh-autoresume (one configured targetSessionId).
• Not edusrez/dsh-smart-restart (systemd / web).

If the Host has no desktopActions.requestRestart, the tool still writes the handoff and tells you to restart Desktop yourself.
